Ed Shaffran

Despite all of the snow this winter, the sidewalks along Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor remained easily passable for pedestrians. That’s thanks in large part to the Main Street Business Improvement Zone, an effort where property owners have voluntarily agreed to pay more taxes for a variety of services.

Ed Shaffran is President of The Shaffran Companies and chairman of the Main Street BIZ. He says next month property owners on some neighboring streets will vote to see if the BIZ will expand.
